Summary

A customer (flagged via NISC evaluation trial) ruled out EFS access points based on our docs, then found they actually work. The ticket confirmed against localstack-pro:latest on 2026-09-01: creating an access point on a file system succeeds (LifeCycleState: available, confirmed via DescribeAccessPoints).

The docs' "Current Limitations" section made one sentence with three claims: "lacks support for functionalities like creating mount targets, configuring access points, and generating tags." While fixing the access-points part, I cross-checked all three against src/data/coverage/efs.json:

Claim Docs said Coverage data says
Access points Unsupported CreateAccessPoint/DeleteAccessPoint/DescribeAccessPoints all implemented: true
Mount targets Unsupported CreateMountTarget/DeleteMountTarget/DescribeMountTargets all implemented: true
Tags Unsupported Mixed: legacy CreateTags/DeleteTags/DescribeTags are implemented: false, but the modern TagResource/UntagResource/ListTagsForResource are implemented: true

So all three parts of the claim were stale or imprecise. Removed the access-points and mount-targets claims entirely, and replaced the blanket "generating tags" claim with the precise legacy-vs-modern tagging API distinction the coverage data actually supports.

… tags)

Verified against src/data/coverage/efs.json and localstack-pro:latest
(2026-09-01, per the linked ticket): CreateAccessPoint/DeleteAccessPoint/
DescribeAccessPoints and CreateMountTarget/DeleteMountTarget/
DescribeMountTargets are all implemented, contradicting the docs'
claim that mount targets and access points are unsupported. Tagging
is mixed: the legacy CreateTags/DeleteTags/DescribeTags operations
are not implemented, but TagResource/UntagResource/ListTagsForResource
are, so qualify that precisely instead of a blanket "generating tags"
claim.
